Sponsor Our ArticlesThe Memphis-Shelby County Schools Board has postponed a decision regarding the future of Superintendent Dr. Marie Feagins amid serious allegations of misconduct. Feagins, who has faced scrutiny since her appointment in April 2024, defended herself against the claims, which include breaches of contract and controversial staff changes. The board’s decision to delay voting on her contract until January 14, 2025, allows Feagins time to respond to the allegations. The potential financial implications of her termination are also a significant concern for the district.
In the bustling city of Memphis, tension filled the air as the Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) Board met for a special session to contemplate the fate of Superintendent Dr. Marie Feagins. Since stepping into the superintendent role in April 2024, Feagins, who previously paved her way through the Detroit Public Schools Community District, has found herself at the center of some heated controversies.
The meeting was held to address serious complaints against Feagins, revolving around allegations of professional misconduct and claims of a breach of contract. As board members sifted through the concerns, it became evident that a few were not pleased with the direction in which she’s been steering the district. Among the complaints were mentions of job cuts, communication hitches, and controversial personnel decisions that have taken place since she took the helm.
Adding fuel to the fire, it was noted that at least four staff members who were brought on board specifically to support her administration exited the district shortly after her arrival. These departures have raised eyebrows among board members who are now left questioning the stability of the leadership team under Feagins.
In her defense at the meeting, Feagins labeled the allegations against her as baseless and meritless. She passionately highlighted the significance of quality education in Memphis and stressed her dedication to accountability in an environment that supports both students and staff. However, she addressed the troubling implications that the allegations concerning suicide carried, firmly asserting that such accusations do not reflect her commitment to creating a positive culture within the district.
